Trade Recommendation: Waves

Trade Recommendation: Waves

We have a support zone formed by SMA100, the uptrend line and 0.001100 support level. The price can bounce from this zone and start a new upward movement. We can place pending orders for buy above the downtrend line and the local high. It’s 0.001180 level. If the price breaks the downtrend line, it will be confirmation of further upward movement. MACD histogram rises and supports upward movement. DMI allows to open long trades. Stop orders for long trades must be placed at 0.001080 level and take-profit orders at 0.001300 and 0.001400 resistance levels. If the price drops below 0.001100 support level, buy orders should be deleted. If you don’t use leverage, recommended trading volume for this trade is up to 5% from your deposit.

Market Update

The cryptocurrency market touched a low of around $324 billion Wednesday following a $50 billion reversal from the previous day’s high. At press time, the market had recovered at $334.6 billion, according to data provider CoinMarketCap.

Bitcoin touched a low near $7,450, its worst levels in over a month. According to analyst Omkar Godbole, bitcoin faces a bear market indicator last seen about four years ago – namely, a breakdown of the five-month moving average below the 10-month MA.

Altcoins shed as much as $36 billion on Wednesday. Excluding bitcoin, cryptocurrency values touched a low of $198.8 billion.

Most major altcoins were off their lows by the early evening, though bitcoin cash, Ethereum and EOS had booked losses of at least 9.3%.

Among the top 100 coins by market cap, 0x was the lone gainer on Wednesday, climbing more than 14%. Tether’s USDT stablecoin was little changed.

Trading volumes picked up to around $21 billion from a low near $16 billion earlier in the week. It was abundantly clear last week that the vast majority of cryptocurrency trades were sell orders, a trend that appears to have intensified in recent sessions.

As of Monday, the percentage of cryptocurrency trades ‘in the buy’ was 12.86%, according to TurtleBC. That was the lowest level since early April. At the height of the crypto market rally last month, buy orders accounted for nearly 93% of total market activity.

The Great Unwind

There was no immediate catalyst for the massive price decay on Wednesday, though some have speculated that it represents a broad consolidation following last month’s exorbitant gains.

Others have pointed to uncertainty in South Korea, a market known for being highly speculative, amid controversy surrounding digital currency exchanges Bithumb and Upbit. A new tax policy at Bitfinex may have also rattled investor sentiment.

Crypto bulls are banking on the fact that market fundamentals haven’t changed very much in recent months despite extremely volatile swings in prices. A look at major news sources reveals a more sanguine approach to digital assets compared with two or three months ago.

Coverage of cryptocurrencies has improved after several major institutions announced their intent to enter the market. Though institutional uptake remains weak overall, banks, hedge funds and other institutional players are expanding their presence in the crypto arena.

On Wednesday, Deutsche Boerse confirmed it is “deep at work” in evaluating whether to offer bitcoin futures. The marketplace is currently gauging client interest in crypto products before deciding whether to move forward.

Crypto Update: Coins Lose Ground as Range Trading Continues

While the weekend rally got bulls hope up that the consolidation phase might have ended, the technical setup hasn’t changed much in the segment, and today all of the major coins are lower again. The losses, which range from 2-5%, are not significant from a long-term standpoint, and most of the top coins are still clearly above the crucial support levels that mark the lower boundaries of the short-term trading ranges.

With that in mind, traders still shouldn’t change their neutral stance, as there is no clear momentum present that would justify new positions here. Bitcoin continues to slightly outperform most altcoins today, but the divergence is not significant from a technical standpoint. Trading volumes continue to be well below the levels of the recent weeks, and that reinforces the bullish consolidation scenario.

BTC drifted back below the key $8400-$8600 zone, and it remains stuck the lower boundary of the range today, despite its slight relative strength. As the short-term MACD indicator is neutral, and our trend model is also on a neutral signal, further choppy trading is likely ahead. Short-term support is found near the intraday low, at $8150, with a stronger zone between $7650-$7800, with further resistance ahead between $9000 and $9200, $10,000, and $10,500.

ETH/USD, 4-Hour Chart Analysis

Ethereum is trading right at the center of the short-term range, as the coin gave back most of its weekend gains, while losing its relative strength in the process as well. The coin remains on a neutral short-term trend signal similarly to the broader market, with the price action still being consistent with an orderly correction. Resistance is ahead between $735 and $780, at $845 and $900, while support is found between $625 and $645 and between $555 and $575.

Tron Still Outperforms as Correlations Remain High

TRX/USD, 4-Hour Chart Analysis

Tron made the most progress among the op coins since bottoming out after the correction, and the coin remains bullish from a short-term perspective despite the current pullback. The $0.075 support/resistance level is in the center of attention, while the late-April high at $0.010 is the next target for the move. As the broader market remains in a corrective phase, but the coin is one of the prime candidates to hit a new high in the coming weeks.

Dash, Monero, Ripple, and Litecoin are still weaker than segment average, while the recently lagging IOTA held the key $1.7 level. For now, there is still no sign of a developing robust leadership, as EOS failed to regain its bullish momentum, and no major joined Tron in the rally.

Five Low Market-Cap Altcoins With Huge Potential

With more than 1,600 altcoins in circulation, finding the appropriate balance between risk and reward isn’t always easy. Making matters more challenging is the fact that hundreds of projects have already been labelled duds by researchers who have tracked the life cycle of digital currencies beyond their initial coin offering.

While many investors are perfectly content sticking with bitcoin, Ethereum and a couple of others, those of us in search of the next ‘diamond in the rough’ must venture beyond the ten largest cryptocurrenices by market capitalization.

Below, we look at five low market cap altcoins with significant upside potential. It’s difficult to say whether these coins will generate 100 times ROI or anything that mirrors the rapid rise of bitcoin and Ethereum. However, the project specifications suggest they are a good place to start.

DragonChain (DRGN)

The DragonChain project emerged out of Disney in 2016 and was later developed as an open source platform. In its modern form, DragonChain is a business platform that allows for the creation of a secure and scalable blockchain. Part incubator, part marketplace, DragonChain provides smart contract infrastructure with a focus on security, development and scalability.

DRGN, the currency powering the DragonChain platform, has a total market capitalization of $185 million and a price-per-coin of less than $0.80. When measured in terms of market cap, DRGN is a top-100 cryptocurrency project. Given its potential to transform small business adoption of blockchain technology, DRGN may be considered undervalued due to its limited exchange listings. The coin has yet to make its way onto the major exchanges but can still be found on platforms such as Kucoin, IDEX and EtherDelta.

Ark (ARK)

Those of us familiar with ICON know there is huge potential in connected networks. The Ark platform is a smaller-cap alternative that connects every single cryptocurrency through a “virtual spider web of endless use cases.”

Ark employs a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) consensus protocol that promotes decentralization and universally accessible programming language in support of wider adoption. Ark falls within the broader category of platform coins, which means it is best served as a buy-and-hold strategy.

ARK token is currently ranked 62nd in terms of market cap with a price per coin of less than $3. Its primary markets include Binance, Bittrex and Upbit.

Vertcoin (VTC)

The next cryptocurrency on our list is ranked all the way down at 153rd in terms of market cap. Vertcoin captured our attention for its outstanding development team, transparency and ASIC-resistant standard (the latter makes VTC one of the most decentralized cryptocurrencies on the market). Proponents of decentralization will therefore find plenty of upside with this coin.

Interestingly, Vertcoin is also one of the oldest cryptos on the market. Founded in 2014 as an alternative to bitcoin and Litecoin, VTC aims to become the utility coin of the future. The project is on the forefront of Lightning Network development and was even mentioned in Litecoin’s whitepaper as a candidate for cross-chain atomic swaps.

At the time of writing, VTC token is valued at over $2. It has not been immune from the recent market downturn but its long-term prospectus is as solid as they come.

Power Ledger (POWR)

The POWR token is also ranked outside the top-100 in terms of market cap, putting it alongside some of the more obscure cryptocurrencies. However, the platform’s value proposition is as tangible as it gets.

Power Ledger is headed by Jemma Green, who recently became the major of Perth, Australia. The platform allows consumers to trade electricity with one another in exchange for real-time payments facilitated through the blockchain. The company calls itself the “peer-to-peer marketplace for renewable energy” because it allows consumers to select clean energy sources and receive more money for excess power using low-cost settlement technology.

PWR experienced explosive growth during the height of the bull market. Tokens are currently valued at around $0.40.

Deepbrain Chain (DPC)

Hacked reviewed Deepbrain Chain during the ICO stage back in December. Though the results were underwhelming at the time, much of the concern stemmed from KYC implementation issues and unusual token metrics.

Valued at less than $1 a coin, Deepbrain Chain can be considered a bargain for its role in using artificial intelligence (AI) to lower the cost of computing. Deepbrain Chain is operating in one of the fastest-growing markets (AI), which partly explains its undervalued status. As the company rightly explains in its whitepaper, 5,000 AI startups came into existence between 2012 and 2016, collectively raising over $22 billion. However, unlike those companies, DPC has already established a firm partnership with Neo and is widely considered one of the leading AI projects in the blockchain space.

Deepbrain Chain has a total value of $139 million, placing it in 113th spot by market cap.
